Nas And Kelis Reach Custody Agreement

Rapper Nas and his ex-wife singer Kelis have come to a custody agreement after a lengthy battle over the care of their eight-year-old son Knight.

The two have divided up visitation rights and now Nas is able to spend time with Knight on weekends, according to documents.

The former couple has also agreed to avoid exploiting the child on social media.

In November, the "One Mic" star, full name Nasir Jones, filed court papers claiming Kelis was only allowing him visitation with Knight "when she deems it convenient for her," even though he had done his best to co-operate with his ex-following their separation in April 2009, when she was seven months pregnant.

The rap star asked for an official custody schedule to be put in place, and suggested Knight spends the first, third, and fifth weekend of every month with him.

Last December, Kelis filed a request for a court hearing.

Nas and Kelis, who wed in 2005, finalized their divorce in 2010.

The rapper is also dad to 23-year-old daughter Destiny from his relationship with ex-girlfriend Carmen Bryan, while Kelis welcomed another son in 2015.

She has never publicly revealed the identity of the boy's father.

Nas dated Nicki Minaj for seven months before the pair split last week.
